30 Grendel Upper

I had some spare time during the week so I dug this upper out & loaded up a few different projectiles for it.

It uses a Proof Research Carbon Fibre 16" 1-8 300 AAC barrel rechambered in 30 Grendel with one of Scotts suppressors.

Its been a while since I had fired it & it looks like it still likes the Speer 130 Hollow Point Varmint projectile :)

Its quite a handy weight & very portable with plenty of grunt :)

Looking forward to be able to take it for a walk soonish :cool:

Those Speer 130 hp love goats! They were awesome in my 30/06. Bet they would be great on wallabies too.

They certainly do at those velocities :)

Used them in my Rum years ago, they went pretty quick :thumbsup:

Thinking at the 30 Grendel velocity they will probably work well on everything :)

Is that a hot load??

Nope, if you run hot loads you wreck bolt heads :oh noes:

Sometimes they break just because :(

Bolt guns will run much harder than ARs

I know about breaking bolts...
Tried my 6.5TCU with 147ELD-Ms the other day with 27gns 8208XBR , just for fun, got 2420fps and good accuracy and I could have stoked them a little more.
Would have gone 6.5Grendel but cheap brass won the day

Those 130's would have left smoke trails from a 300 RUM!
